Edward Hopper’s New York, seen through the city

Kim Conaty’s illustrated study connects Hopper’s paintings, drawings, and prints with the New York spaces that shaped his artistic vision. Sidewalks, elevated trains, and windowed façades provide a route into one of the work’s recurring concerns: how public settings expose glimpses of private life. The book also draws on archival materials from the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Sanborn Hopper Archive, placing the artworks alongside material that adds context to Hopper’s relationship with the city. With more than 300 illustrations, it offers an art-focused exploration of urban space and the experience of solitude within a crowd.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Art readers interested in Edward Hopper and his work across painting, drawing, and printmaking
  • Readers curious about New York City’s influence on an artist’s visual subjects

Book overview

A revealing exploration of Edward Hopper's inspired relationship to New York City through his paintings, drawings, prints, and never-before-published archival materials

This engaging book delves into the iconic relationship between Edward Hopper (1882-1967) and New York City. This comprehensive look at an essential aspect of the revered American artist's life reveals how Hopper's experience of New York's spaces, sensations, and architecture shaped his vision and served as a backdrop for his distillations of the urban experience. During sidewalk strolls and elevated train rides, Hopper sketched the city's many windowed facades. Exterior views gave way to interior lives, forging one of Hopper's defining preoccupations: the convergence of public and private. These permeable walls allowed Hopper to evoke the perplexing awareness of being alone in a crowd that is synonymous with modern urban life.

Drawing on the vast resources of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the largest repository of Hopper's work, and the recently acquired gift of the Sanborn Hopper Archive, this book features more than 300 illustrations and fresh insight from authoritative and emerging scholars.
